After avoiding the last two annual events, Twilight is finally going to hold her first library sale. Or else. And when compared to selling off books, 'or else' may be starting to look pretty good.
There are no species restrictions for Wonderbolts tryouts, which means they occasionally see some non-pegasus candidates. Griffons and self-levitating unicorns are typical. But today, they're getting an anthropomorphic duck.
Rainbow and Applejack just made a wager on whether the latter can get a reaction out of the former with the farm's seasonal attraction. What's the only thing which could make that wager better? Cider. Lots and lots of cider.
For most residents of the Equestra Retirement Community, the only thing to do is wait around to die. But if you're new, just inherited Bungalow 4G, and feel curious enough to investigate, there's always the horseshoe pits around midnight.
What, you've never heard of Shutterfly? The print shop owner who can print a picture on just about anything? There may be a reason for that. A really annoying reason.
On one of the last nice autumn days for his first fall in Ponyville, all Spike has to do is collect late fees and a lost book from a unresponsive library patron. A pony who isn't answering letters. A pony who might as well have never existed.
Rarity's mark has told her who she's meant to be, and she's spent too long postponing her chance to become that pony. However, it's never given her any hints on just how she's supposed to do it. Maybe her first trade show will help -- in some way.
As far as the worst squad member in the short history of the Crystal Guard is concerned, every new day is the one when he'll finally be fired. Because the only thing Flash Sentry truly knows about his life is that it shouldn't have brought him here.
Having realized that the duration of Discord's "reform" may exactly equal his only friend's lifespan, the palace sends Fleur to assist Fluttershy with acquiring a social life and guarantee a next generation to adore. (What could possibly go wrong?)
Crusades have consequences. Some of those are financial, and so the trio turns to an emergency stable sale to gain funds for their future mark-finding attempts. But another price comes out of reputation, and the bill has just come due.
Recent innovations in Canterlot bureaucracy have supposedly eased the process of renewing the operating licenses for Barnyard Bargains. For starters, Mr. Rich can now experience the benefits of centralized torture.
Rarity's first moons back in Ponyville after leaving school have her still trying to catch up on the events she missed -- like the arrival of a certain apprentice baker. And until now, neither knew the other existed.
Is it really so much for Mr. Rich to ask, having his shopping carts occasionally return to his store? To keep a supply under hoof without causing difficulties, magical mishaps, and the occasional small disaster? Yes. Yes, it is.
For nearly every citizen of Equestria, it's a holiday: a chance to get together with friends, gather a few treats, and laugh in defiance of the darkness. For Celestia, Nightmare Night is something else entirely.
Fluttershy's mark gives her the ability to communicate with animals. Unfortunately, no matter what those ponies who own pets might believe of their companions, the majority of animals are really stupid.
With the Diarchy too busy to attend the ceremony, Twilight is sent to Baltimare for the official launching of three ships. The palace really shouldn't have presumed she'd understand what that actually meant.
The human agent working to stop incursions from the world known to ponies as the shadowfell tends to be of two minds about his duties. In fact, Jack's been of two minds concerning just about everything lately. And one of those minds isn't his.
Many ponies believe inviting animals into their residence is the perfect way to lower stress. In the case of the La-Ti-Da Spa, no one was actually invited.
When it comes to her most faithful customer, Rarity is willing to take on any design challenge in order to keep that mare happy. But when the latest problem arises from anatomy...
All Rarity wanted to do was take a shower. A new kind of shower, using something nopony had ever owned before. So really, how could everything else possibly be her fault?
As Twilight's starting to learn, being a Princess comes with certain responsibities. Ceremonies to attend. Functions to host. And of course, being properly kidnapped, on schedule, as contractually obligated -- wait. What?
Equestria's newest Hearth's Warming craze is the gift clock: a new present every day for the entire moon. It's perfectly natural for the Bearers to try a few out! And it's not as if the riot was completely their fault!
When the Bearers locate a hidden village whose occupants believe in having their bodies covered at all times, Rarity initially thinks she's found her people. Initially.
The good news: having her false ID summoned for jury duty means Chrysalis' disguise is perfect. The bad: running out on it would break her cover. (Why do queens always wind up with the hard decisions?)
Long before Nightmare and Elements, primary school students Rarity & Applejack were forced to cooperate in order to defeat the most fearsome foe ever imagined: a teenager.
The question isn't 'How could advertising a Back To School sale one week into summer vacation lead to a youth boycott of Barnyard Bargains?' The question is 'How could it not?'
Keeping a newborn's uncontrolled magic from wrecking the house during a foalsitting evening requires an experienced professional! -- or a teenager who hasn't figured out what the job actually requires. (The teenager is initially cheaper.)
Really, fixing Rarity's chipped tooth will be no trouble at all! She just needs to take a quick sip of dental potion and... what do you mean, 'they don't exist'?
Rarity knows Ponyville's outdoor market is being systematically invaded by an army of fashion knockoffs and fakes. She just doesn't understand why she's supposed to care.
Joanna knows that among all the entities (human and pony) to exist in Equestria, she's the only one not consigned to eternal damnation. She doesn't understand why everyone else has a problem with this.
All Shining Armor has to do in order to make his mother's medical tests go smoothly is to make sure she doesn't eat or drink anything. It should be a simple task for a colt who's on his game. (Unfortunately, it's a night game.)
